First edition. 8vo. vii, [1], 328 pp. Original green cloth, spine lettered in gilt on black ground, dust jacket (just a hint of faint spotting to endpapers and top edge to text-block, contents otherwise clean and unmarked; minor creasing to extremities of jacket, a few faint splash-marks to spine panel, still a very good copy overall).
